According to the BBC, Abbott is also facing criticism from within his party over the issue.

Abbott blocked a free vote for government MPs on any bills related to gay marriage, saying the issue should be put to the people after the next election.

Labor leader Bill Shorten called on all coalition MPs in favour of same sex marriage to keep lobbying the prime minister.
